Thanks to Dalian Bureau Education and Mr. Gary' s help I was able to come to the U.S.A to take part in this training programme from Dec. 1,2010 to Feb.4 2011and realized my many year's dream ----- to go to America and experience American culture by myself.
My training programme includes 4 parts ----- training classes at Roosevelt University ,trip to the east and the west of the U.S.A. , an on-the-spot investigation of Springfield and Chicago and visitation of classes at three elementary and high schools. From this training I have learned a lot of new teaching methods ,known more about Ametican culture and made many American friends which have achieved my training goals.
While at Roosevelt Universrty training classes I learned a lot of new teaching methods from Nancy,for example,total physical response, language experience approach,cooperative language learning approach,the natural approach,webquest and so on which inlightened me very much.Though China and America have different education systems, I will manage to try these new methods of teaching at proper time and situation to improve my students' English and my English teaching after I come back to my class.After visiting the three elementary and high schools I found American schools more value reading .Around the schools' building you can see the slogans like this"Reading is thinking "at any place.So during the class the students were given enough time to read materials and feel what they have read and expressed their thoughts freely.Besides, the students have more freedom in the class.They could go to restroom and fetch things freely during the classes in spite of the teacher's feelings.From this I felt our students are much better and more respectful to us teachers.American schools have moral education at school ,too.We could often see some sigs hanging on the walls to tell the students how to behave,for example,"Give respect and get respect".
I also visited many museums ,libraries and neighborhoods and looped the downtown of Chicago and Springfield from which I experienced the American culture by myself and contacted with American natives from which I knew Americans were very enthusiastic and hospitable,for example, when we were lost in the street they often offered to lead us to the bus stations and they often gave us much help when we ten needed to take photos together.I wanted very much to express my appreciation to American friends for their friendliness and warmth from the bottom of my heart.I love American people .
From the trip to the east of the U.S.A. , I knew more about American history and culture.I visited Washington ,Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials.I also saw the Independence Palace at Philadelphia , the White House at Washington D.C. and the Statue of Liberty in New York. After that I felt like I experienced the American history by myself and shook hands with the American history great people.This was a real culture and history trip! While during the trip to the west I enjoyed the beautiful scenery and felt the warm climate.I crossed three states of America in the west.I visited Disneyland ,Universal Studios at Los Angeles,seaworld at San diego and the Great Canyon at Las Vegas.All these sights are beyond my imagination and more than I can describe with words.What an excellent trip it is!Like China America has a large area and beautiful sights with great people and culture.
The ten-week training programme is over thogh it is not what I want.Maybe I will forget what the teachers have taught me in the future,but I believe I will never forget the feeling American people and teachers have given to me!
